I used a melon baller to hollow the apples and it worked well. After hollowing them squeeze some lemon juice on top to reduce browning. Mix your ½ cup water with your envelope of hot chocolate in a medium sized sauce pan. Whisk it to make sure all the chocolate is combined. Add the ½ cup of coconut milk, whisk again. Sprinkle your gelatin on top and let it sit a few minutes. Turn on low/medium heat and mix the gelatin until all is combined. Add ¼ cup sugar and simmer slightly until sugar is combined. Add your food coloring until you get the caramel color desired. I used two drops. Let mixture cool to warm. Pour in your ½ cup of butterscotch schnapps. (Omit for non-alcohol version) With your apples arranged so they fit tightly and secure on a cookie sheet, pour your caramel jello mixture into your apples. Refrigerate for a few hours or overnight.
